Planna prepares comprehensive Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE), Preliminary Planning Reports (PPR) and Town Planning Reports for council approval. Fast and reliable.
When is a Development Application (DA) Required?
You’ll need a Development Application (DA) from Camden Council for new dwellings, dual occupancies, granny flats, townhouse and apartment developments, residential subdivisions, commercial and industrial premises, or changing the use of existing commercial properties such as cafés, restaurants, gyms, retail stores, and local businesses. Camden Council manages one of Sydney’s fastest-growing regions, including significant urban growth areas such as Oran Park, Gregory Hills, Camden Town Centre, Elderslie, and Harrington Park. Planning priorities in Camden include sustainable urban growth, infrastructure provision, residential density management, traffic and parking management, heritage preservation (particularly in Camden Town), and maintaining suburban amenity.
Relevant local planning documents include:
Camden Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2010
Camden Development Control Plan (DCP) 2019
State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008
Certain residential developments close to key centres such as Oran Park, Gregory Hills, and Camden Town Centre may qualify for streamlined complying development approvals under the Low Rise Housing Diversity Code (LMR Policy). If you are uncertain about your property’s development options or planning constraints, Planna recommends a Preliminary Planning Report (PPR). This report clearly identifies permissible developments, addresses relevant site constraints including infrastructure needs, residential density, heritage, and environmental sustainability, and provides tailored recommendations specifically aligned with Camden Council’s planning expectations.
Camden Council carefully assesses Development Applications due to significant urban growth, infrastructure demands, residential density, heritage considerations, and suburban amenity. After preliminary planning, you'll require a comprehensive Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE) clearly demonstrating compliance with council’s planning priorities.Planna specialises in preparing detailed SEE reports tailored specifically for Camden Council, significantly streamlining your project’s approval process.

A message from Planna
You're not alone,
We were frustrated with the standard town planning approach: waiting months for reports and spending thousands of dollars. Town Planners charging for admin when you only really need the core reports for a Development Application. Whether it’s a renovation, changing the use of your business, or a tricky development, you might be asking:
- Do I have to wait 6-12 weeks for a town planner?
- How do I meet all of the compliance requirements?
- How can I maximise my outcomes?
- How can I increase my chances of approval?
With our proven method, you can submit your Development Application in days, not weeks. And if council isn't happy with your Planna Report (unlikely), we will give you a full refund.
